Reaching Out to the Northwest.

1t is rumored. and. seemingly. with founda
ton, that the Illinois Central railroad is seeking
an outlet for its western extension. The road
has had engineers looking over the ground be-
tween Yankton and Sioux City, where their sys-
tenn now terminates. 1t is not surprising that
a movement of this kind should be under con-
sderation when it is stated that, although the
terminus of this great line is at Sioux City-on
the very border OF the Terrltory-it does not
carry a pound of Dakota freight 1t has been
eighteen years since the Illinois Central built
into Sioux City At that time there was not a
foot of railroad in Dakota; but since that time,
other giant corporations have invaded the Ter
ritory, until now the whole country is spanned
with roads, which completely cut off the Illinois
Central traffic

The conditions under which the year 1887
opens are certainly favorable to railroad inter
ests. Present indications that the immense
traffic of September, October, November and
December last will be more than outdone in
January. February, March and April of this
year, and the railroad managers will be too busy
in taking care of their business TO fight about
rates, pools or pools. The railroads of the
country are nearly all in admirable condition,
both materially and financially. The reports OF
earnings show that for the last half of 1886 the
incomes OF the Northern and Western roads in
creased II to % per cent, the great trunk lines
20 per cent, and the Southern systems IL to 30
per cent This increased income has to a great
extent been expended in improvements, in new
rails, new equipment new buildings and greater
terminal facilities, the major part of these bet
terments being charged to current expenses and
not to capital
The reorganization, reconstruction and consol-
ldaton OF number of roads, especially in the
South, is another feature that will be found of
great Importance in giving more substantial.
value to railroad properties. The restoration of
credit and the unfcation of many local lines
into compact transportation systems are an ele-
ment of the situation that needs to be highly
estimated in calculations for the future.

Fire al Eerrx VILLAGE.

The buildings owned and occupied by Paul
McKenDey at Ferry Village, consisting of a
one and half story house, stable and
barn, were burned yesterday. Mr.. McKen-
ney was away at the time, but his wife and
her Liece discovered smoke issuing from the
barn at about half past IL o'clock in the fore
noon. The alarm was given at once, but,
although buckets were worked with will,
nothing could be done to save the building,
and nearly all the furniture was destroyed.
The buildings were all in good repair, and
the house was well furnished. Mr.. McKen-
ney estimated the total loss to be not less
than $4,000, and there was an insurance ON
the buildings of $140O. It is probable that
the fire was accidental. There were no
other buildings near these, but Seaside
Hall, an eighth of mile away, caught fire
from the sparks. Prompt work prevented
any serious results The plastering in the
hall was damaged by water to the extent of
perhaps fifty dollars.

THE WALDO.
An Attractive Summer Resort Opened
for the Season.

Little Chebeague Island, lying in one of
the pleasantest parts of Casco Bay, is just
the place for people seeking residence for
the summer months, which, while giving
them chance to enjoy the pleasures of boat
ing and bathing and the cool breezes fresh
from the Atlantic, is yet near enough to
Portland to be easily accessible, so that bus
mess men may go 10 and from the city daily.
The wants of the public are appreciated by
the proprietors Of the Waldo House who
have put that popular hotel in excellent
shape for the coming season. The house.
with its accommodations for $50 guests, has
all the appointments of a frst-class summer
hotel. Large rooms, broad corridors, cleo
trio bells, excellent drainage and plumbing,
and a never-failing supply of water in every
part of the building, from spring of re-
markable purity, contribute to the comfort
and health of the inmates. Upon the island
is large farm, from which are supplied
milk, cream and vegetables.
The Waldo was opened for the season yes
terday, under the management of Mr.. F. II.
Chester, formerly of the Glen House. Mr..
Chester is a genial landlord, and gentle
man who thoroughly understands the hotel
business and who will doubtless make the
Waldo one of the most attractive summer
houses on the Maine coast. Mrs. e. C. Will
lard, who was for long time housekeeper at
the Glen, fills that position in the Waldo,
and is a valuable assistant to the manager.
Trained walters make the table service un-
excelled, and the kitchens are under the
charge Of fine cook. A number of guests
arrived yesterday, and rooms are engaged by
others. In connection with the hotel are
number Of furnished cottages situated in the
grove behind the house. Among the cot
tagers who have already taken up their resi-
dence on the island are Hon. j. w. Symonds
and Clarence Hale, Esq, of Portland.
Yesterday,:on the occasion of the opening,
Mr.. Chester rendered a dinner to representa-
tives of the city press and party of other
Portland gentlemen. The dinner was a
splendid endorsement of the excellence of
the cuisine of the Waldo. A tempting variety
of the delicacies of the season, perfectly COOK
ed and faultlessly served, was enjoyed by
merry party seated around the table laid in
the small dining room. The guests had
come to the island on the steamer Alice in
the forenoon and the fresh, clear air had
given them hearty appetites. After ar hour
spent around the hospitable board of the
Waldo and an afternoon pleasantly passed
on the broad ria.1as, the party returned to
the city well pleased with the hotel and its
manager. The menu of the dinner follows:
Baked CLANS.
Mock Bisque Soup.
Boiled Restigouche Salmon, with Green Peas.
